Christmas Countdown - 2018

[HomemakinGirl]

I can understand how some dogs might be nervous with all that is going on outside. It's a lot of stimuli all at once. But Loki loves it. He remembers where every single dog that barked at him lives and he actively looks for them once he gets there, he gets overexcited when he sees a cyclist, and just seeing us get his leash out he sits with a paw up, just anxious to go outside. I really hope Rocky grows into walking, it's such a fun activity for dogs.

Thank you so much Martine, I hope so too!
I could just picture Loki with his paw up, how cute! Please give him a hug from us!

Hi folks. Got back from the camping trip late Saturday. We had a great time. Saw some of wildlife; 4 bears, 2 wild hogs, turkeys. Bears seem to be especially active. Caught lots of trout. Can't get fresher than catch during the day and eat for dinner. Bible study great. We studied and discussed various scriptures on the awesomeness of God.
Have a blessed day.

Good Monday afternoon, Christmas friends!

It's been another busy day, but I found a few minutes to check in with my favorite place with my favorite peeps!

It was a loooong night Saturday without Nancy and Elizabeth. I woke up every hour. Jim and I went to meet Jacob Sunday at lunch to see The Nun. I thought it was great! Good-n-scary! Then we all went out for lunch. It was fun, but I sure was happy to see my girls later that evening, too!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Glad that you guys enjoyed it!! I was going to ask you if you had seen it yet
So spooky & atmospheric!!

I'm going to go home and get some comfy clothes on and then just do nothing for the rest of the evening! Dinner been slowly cooking in the crockpot (beef stew) all day, the only thing else I'll need, is to get the tub of butter out of the refrigerator and grab a loaf of bread!!! Ah yes, Good Times!!!!

That sounds wonderful~
Hope you guys are having a cozy night!

Thank you, snowflake!
I hope this finds your mom better! xx

Thank you, M~
She is still having trouble sleeping, but I guess that is a side effect of her antibiotic (go figure!).
Other than that, it was a decent day for her.

Hope you & Palmer are having a nice night!

I’m happy to hear that you had such a blessed time, along with great discussions and wildlife too!

How fun!! Hope you enjoy the books!

I finished Winter Stroll before work and am getting ready to start Winter Storms

Me neither. If I watch them things, I'd be up all night.....
Unless it was the "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" or something like that! Then I'd be right there watching it with a big ol bowl of buttered popcorn!

Me too. Carolina already knows who Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers are because Mikes mom has a tattoo of each of them. The very first time we had Carolina at their house after she was born at 7 days old they had the original Halloween on

Happy Rudolph Day #9 MMC! We're moving closer towards October and the big 3 holiday months. A rainy day here expected as it's already begun with some light rain. Got a chill out there. Makes me think of October. And that makes me happy. Have a great Tuesday!

Good morning and Happy Rudolph’s Day. It was a tad chilly in the house this morning, so for the first time, I turned the furnace on to warm it up. This is the first home I’ve owned that has baseboard hot water heat. So I’ll see how it does.

It’s going to be raining here all day and possibly into tomorrow. When I got home yesterday evening, I pulled out a couple of tarps from the shed and I covered up my wood piles to keep everything dry so as it will be good to go for when I will need it this winter.

Well, my morning coffee is a calling me.

Good Tuesday morning! Rain is moving in for the next couple of days. So Fall goes. Right now the three of us are curled up on the couch under blankets, it's nice and cozy. The surgeon David saw yesterday has put him on a waiting list for arthroscopic surgery. The surgeon considers 2/3 of a tendon torn to be a small tear but after some tests he determined he needed surgery. He has another appointment on October 22nd. I'll go with him this time because I have a ton of questions for the surgeon. I'll keep hoping that his shoulder will continue to improve and he won't need surgery. I'm working the afternoon/evening shift and have a few things to get at the grocery store but for now I just want to stay under the blankets with Loki sleeping in between us. Enjoy your day everyone!

Happy Rudolph Day!! A rainy day today and my oldest daughter is supposed to have a soccer game tonight but I have a feeling it will be canceled. I will definitely be listening to some Christmas music today and maybe watching a show, we'll see...hope you all have a great day!

 

[nmc42088]

Today the high is supposed to be 78. It is supposed to rain most of the day and get humid. Carolinas field trip has been postponed until Thursday because of the rain. Today will be a normal school day for her.
While she is at school I will probably go to Target or Walmart and do some birthday shopping for Carolina. After she gets done school we will go to the library and return books we checked out 2 weeks ago and get some new books.
I hope everyone has a great Rudolph day

Good morning MMC ~
Merry Milestone Day!!!
It’s pouring out right now. I wanted to do some food shopping but I’m not sure if I want to venture out. I’ll see if it lets up after I finish my cup of coffee. I’m going to visit my youngest later this afternoon, I picked her up a few things for the apartment and I want to drop everything off. Other than that I’ll be working on the laundry. Season premiere of This is Us is on tonight, can’t wait. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!!!

Merry Milestone Day everyone! Only 3 months remain!

Cold and rainy here today after a beautiful fall day yesterday. You'll never here me complain about a rainy day if the temperature stays below 15c (59f)!

Hope everyone has a great day and maybe allows themselves some time to listen to a carol or two

Have you seen the commercials for A Million Little Things? That looks really good too, it premieres tomorrow night on ABC.
Have a great day, HMG!
